Act now how?
- adrianN 3y agoIf glaciers don’t store water for you, you need to do it yourself for example by building reservoirs
- kjkjadksj 3y agoThe only issue is pretty much all the good sites for a reservoir already have a reservoir by now. Whats left is expensive stuff like digging out underground reservoirs that you can imagine would take national support for a lot of places to achieve.
- chinathrow 3y agoHaving no water is even more expensive.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoThe oceans store plenty of water, we will just have to extract the salt. Ya, and build more reservoirs, poorer countries are going to get hit really hard.
- nlitened 3y agoSun automatically extracts salt-free water via evaporation, then the vapor is conveniently carried by winds all over the world and literally rains from the sky.
- polygamous_bat 3y agoBut without vastly overengineered projects, how would we find out about the massive geniuses like Elon Musk among us? /s
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYou don’t even need that. Just look at Tokyo’s sewer system with huge cavernous water storage to avoid flooding.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoBut can we build enough reservoirs to store evaporated water? It seems like desalinization will still be important.
- hulitu 3y ago> If glaciers don’t store water for you, you need to do it yourself for example by building reservoirs But first get a refrigerator on Mount Everest to freeze the water. /s
